DIR doesn't affect over-limit calculations (which is arguably a bug, but I lost that argument).
Depending on the size of the mailbox a 60 MB difference is immaterial. However, the user may have recently deleted a large number of items, and the "warning task" hasn't run since they did that deletion. Normally it runs at midnight, just before online maintenance.
